Trying to run "PACE protected" software without an registered and authorized iLok will scramble your computer RAM, invert the ionic phase of your operating system, and will re-format all hard-drives on your network, not to mention de-magnetizing all ribbon mics in the room.
Last edited by Lotus 7; 15th April at AM.. Can't believe I missed reading that link. So when you buy the software it'll come with an ilok serial and you just enter that into your ilok once it is plug in? Share 15th April Paschalis I. It's just a USB stick that stores your licenses.
Hope this helps. Then whenever you register a product that requires iLok the registration process will ask for your iLok id. Then they send you an activation to your iLok license manager that you just transfer to your iLok dongle. Thanks for clarifying. By using this site, you agree to our use of cookies.

We see you've found the Newbie subforum! Learn more. You may notice that the 'cookie consent' form pops up more often than usual lately - we are tweaking it behind-the-scenes to make sure it's working comprehensively. How does Ilok work? Lotus 7.

If you get this bit wrong, the licence could end up in someone else's account, so take care!
Now go back to iLok. If you haven't bought an iLok yet, do make sure you get the nice, shiny, second-generation one rather than the discontinued original, as we are already starting to see new software releases that only support the newer model. Signing up for an iLok. PACE have listened to user feedback over the last 10 years, and so the new iLok resolves a number of issues that we had with the original one. The new iLok has more spaces for licences, yet it is more compact, and so stacks nicely in adjacent USB sockets.
The new iLok is faster, too, although at present you will only notice this when downloading a lot of licences in one go. Some software publishers, such as Slate Digital with their VCC plug-in, are choosing to make their software licences work only with the second-generation iLok, mainly because they perceive it as less vulnerable to piracy. Andrew Kirk from PACE told me that "The second generation iLok has a number of features that improve security, but for the end user that isn't of prime concern, it is how reliable and robust it is, how convenient it is to use, how many licences it will hold, and how good it looks; these are much more important to the end user.
Finally, if something does go wrong with your iLok or the software that it's supposed to be authorising, remember that PACE are just providing a service for the software publishers such as Avid, Waves, and so on. It is these software publishers — not PACE — who set policies regarding lost or stolen iLoks, and other issues, such as whether you're allowed to transfer licences between iLoks in your own account.
As Andrew Kirk explains, "Some vendors software publishers allow for iLok-to-iLok transfer within an account, and some don't; however, iLok. Also, some companies don't allow any transfer of licences at all. This is based upon each software publisher's business policies. Take a tip from me, and don't go shouting at PACE when things go wrong. If you do, they will play it exactly by the book and you will get very little out of them.
However, if you ask nicely and are calm about things, trust me, they will go more than the extra mile to help you if they can. Finally, Andrew told me that we can expect some exciting things in the iLok world just over the horizon. He wouldn't be drawn as to when we will see them, but as soon as we know, we'll bring the news to you!
